Mobile FAQ

How can I create an account for LiveProject Team?

The account/login option is for users with a LiveProject Team or Collaboration account. You can learn more about these options, as well as sign up for a free trial, at http://www.kadonk.com/products/project-collaboration.

If you just want to view your project plans from say email or dropbox then you can skip the login and use the Viewer only option.

How large of a project can I view on my iPhone/iPad?

The current version supports projects of up to around 40MB, about 9k-10k tasks. This is for the iPhone 3GS/iPad 1. On iPhone 4 or iPad 2 you can view even larger projects due to their higher memory. We are also expecting to release a new version (1.2) shortly that will increase the limits even higher.

What are the ways I can get my project plans to LiveProject on iPhone/iPad?

You can get your project plans to LiveProject through the following means: 1. iTunes 2. Email attachment 3. DropBox or some other file sharing application. For DropBox you would launch DropBox on your iPad, then browse to the project plan in DropBox and click on it to open it. You can then open the plan in LiveProject by clicking on the 'action' button (arrow coming out of the box) in DropBox. 4. Safari if it is available online.

How can I delete projects that are shown in the Explorer?

You can delete projects by swiping at the project horizontally which will make the Delete button visible.

Can I add a project file to LiveProject via iTunes?

Yes, with version 1.1 you can add files to LiveProject via iTunes. Just exit LiveProject; Connect your device to iTunes; Go to Apps and find LiveProject; Then select it from the list under 'File Sharing -> Apps' and click on the 'Add' button.

Is a network connection required?

What is the difference between iLiveProject Team and iLiveProject Viewer?

The difference between these two products is that the Team edition allows users to browse and open documents shared through existing LiveProject accounts. You need a separate LiveProject Team or Collaboration account to utilize the Team edition.

Which project files formats are supported?

Project files created with Microsoft Project 2000, 2003, 2007 or 2010. The project files can either be MPP, MPX or exported XML files.

What information is available from the project file?

All tasks and sub-tasks are shown, organized in the same hierarchy that it was stored in. Almost* all tasks fields are available and the viewer can be customized to show the columns you need. All resources in the project are available, and can be accessed directly from the tasks view. Almost* all resource fields are available and can be customized to be visible or not. Project Information is also available. *Currently baseline information is not available.

Can I open more than one project at a time?

No, only one project can be open at a time, but using the built-in explorer you can quickly switch between projects. If you use the task tracker, it supports tasks from multiple projects.

What is the task tracker exactly?

The task tracker allows you to mark a task for tracking. All tracked tasks from any project are shown in the task-tracker list. If, for example, you are currently working on 5 tasks in 5 different projects, you can simply mark the 5 tasks as ‘tracked’, and you can easily select them with one touch from the central task tracker.

Are you affiliated with Microsoft?

We are a Microsoft Partner, and have been for many years.

Do you have any enterprise discounts?

Not for our mobile products, but for LiveProject (our PC solution), we do have enterprise licensing options depending on the size of your company.

I can’t ping resources on a task

In order to contact a resource on a project, the resource has to have a valid e-mail address defined in the project plan. To fix this fill in the field “e-mail” in the project plan.

I can’t see the resource assigned to a task?

iLiveProject only shows resources assigned to tasks when a task has assigned resources. Try opening the original project plan and verify that a task is actually assigned to the task in question.
